You think his contract was what made trading him difficult? I definitely don’t, it was how much Lacob was trying to get in return. That’s where you could say he was being overvalued.

Regardless, I see what the Warriors are doing with this move and it could pay off, but I’m super bummed. Never easy seeing your favorite player traded (having Tim Hardaway flashbacks). Was hoping he could at least have ended up with a contender like Hardaway did.

Oh no… Now we may lose and miss the playoffs — even though he never prevented that anyway.

waa waa waa

Is this the same Bogut that’s being questioned for his longevity? The one that’s out for the season due to ankle injuries? Please tell us who he is…. And in what you universe do you consider this a good trade, when you give up your best player and great young talent for an injury plagued big man + a has been.

Don’t say it is a bad trade just because you’ve seen a ton of Monta play and none of Bogut.

This kind of shallow, shorted-sided thinking from fans has held back this franchise for decades…
